Wide Awake Lyrics
I can't speak
And I can't breathe
And no words are comin' out of me
And I can't tell if I'm upside-down
Or if I'm just goin' round and round
I trap myself in idioms
With the battles raging in my head
And I can't tell if I'm fallin' in
Or if I'm just climbin' up again
Hey man
Yeah yeah, yeah yeah, yeah yeah
I'm wide awake man
Yeah yeah, yeah yeah, yeah yeah
I'm wide awake man
I'm so anxious
I packed my head in a paper bag
To quell my nerves
Have I lost all my urgency
Or can I be part of history
You say I hide in my dreams
So I tell myself
Don't sleep, don't sleep, don't sleep, don't sleep, don't sleep, don't sleep, don't sleep
Save all your energy to say
Hey man
Yeah yeah, yeah yeah, yeah yeah
I'm wide awake man
Yeah yeah, yeah yeah, yeah yeah
I'm wide awake man
Yeah yeah, yeah yeah, yeah yeah
I'm wide awake man
Open, open up your mind now
Open up the sky now
Come on and fly now
Hey hey
Open, open your mind now
Open up wide now
Come on let me in now
Open, hey hey
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Open, open and fly now
Come on and try now
Come on and try now
Hey hey hey hey
Yeah yeah
Yeah yeah
And I can't breathe
And no words are comin' out of me
And I can't tell if I'm upside-down
Or if I'm just goin' round and round
I trap myself in idioms
With the battles raging in my head
And I can't tell if I'm fallin' in
Or if I'm just climbin' up again
Yeah yeah, yeah yeah, yeah yeah
I'm wide awake man
Yeah yeah, yeah yeah, yeah yeah
I'm wide awake man
I packed my head in a paper bag
To quell my nerves
Have I lost all my urgency
Or can I be part of history
You say I hide in my dreams
So I tell myself
Don't sleep, don't sleep, don't sleep, don't sleep, don't sleep, don't sleep, don't sleep
Save all your energy to say
Yeah yeah, yeah yeah, yeah yeah
I'm wide awake man
Yeah yeah, yeah yeah, yeah yeah
I'm wide awake man
Yeah yeah, yeah yeah, yeah yeah
I'm wide awake man
Open up the sky now
Come on and fly now
Hey hey
Open, open your mind now
Open up wide now
Come on let me in now
Open, hey hey
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Open, open and fly now
Come on and try now
Come on and try now
Hey hey hey hey
Yeah yeah
Yeah yeah

Sounds like he's struggling to reach his goal , or he's on the path of reaching this goal and there are some obstacles in the way. So he's just reminding himself to "STAY AWAKE" and push through whatever it is that he's trying to get pass. Motivational !
